Hi all,

 

I’m trying to find a way to replace ISBNs in existing records with new ISBNs. The issue is this: we have thousands of ebooks from MyiLibrary, and a while back, Coutts changed the ISBNs of these records. Coutts can provide us with new MARC records, or with a spreadsheet containing both the old and new ISBNs. We can’t delete the existing MARC records and import the new ones because of the attached order records. Also, we can’t just import the new MARC records (which would add the new ISBN to existing records) because we’re using Talis Aspire reading lists and the links to MyiLibrary don’t lead anywhere if they’re bookmarked using the old ISBN. Does anyone know how we might be able to do this? I’m not sure if it can be done with load tables, so perhaps scripts or macros is the way to go?

 

Regards,

Anna
